HELP US champion groundbreaking artists

During our 20th birthday year, nonclassical is:

  • Supporting 61 artists

  • Commissioning 6 new works

  • Offering a wide array of commission, performance and recording opportunities to our cohort of emerging Artists in Residence

  • Releasing 4 albums through our label, giving artists a rare recording platform

On 26th October, we are putting on our biggest event yet, at the Hackney Empire, in partnership with the London Symphony Orchestra - a huge opportunity for the 13 composers involved, and a chance to welcome loads of new people to experience new music!

As a small, ambitious charity, we are in urgent need of your help to raise £20,000. This will make sure we can cover the cost of our 20th anniversary activity, supporting the exceptional artists creating and performing experimental new music, which has too little support in the industry.

Please support our 20th anniversary campaign here as generously as you can. 

  • £20 could make sure we can continue to offer subsidised concession tickets to keep welcoming everyone to our events

  • £100 could cover an artist’s travel to an event, to make sure all can take part 

  • £250 could support an emerging artist’s performance at an event

  • £500 could hire a venue to give artists a platform and audiences a chance to listen

  • £3000 could fund an entire new album release

Big thanks for your support from all of the artists, team and audiences in the nonclassical family!
